I am looking for a projector for my dedicated theater in my basement. Light will be completely controlled, and projector will be used for movies and TV (mostly football). The largest screen I have room for is 90 inches.
I don't care about 3D, but have found that all the projectors in that price range also do 3D. I was looking at the VPL-HW30ES. Can anyone recommend a non 3D projector below $3000? Are there any 2D only models available that do just as good 2D as the more expensive 3D models?
Any help is appreciated.

I did purchase a factory refurb from visual apex. So far my experience with refurbs has been excellent. I have only found the RS40/45 for around $2900. They may be better than the 8700ub, and within my price range, but at $1300 less, I couldn't pass on the epson.

Avs had RS40s for $1800 and 45s for $2100. They were b-stocks. But new 45s can be found for $2450. But the Epson is very good also. Still a win
